Description
The Teign Estuary is the second biggest estuary (after The Exe) in South Devon. This TIDAL walk is on the Southern shore and comprises of a 1/2 mile wide estuary that narrows to saltmarsh and river closer to Newton Abbot. At low tide, a large area of mud is exposed and because the sun is behind you no 'glare' is expected.
